Chapter 447 - Battle Of Speed Freaks Part 1

Major Carlson who had stumbled backwards onto the ground watching everything unfold was in awe.

Despite it appearing as though the old man and Adam were having a calm conversation, their eyes showed battle intent and each of their bodies was positioned in a way that was ready to fight at any moment.

Major Carlson was at the bottom of the US Cultivator Defence and was only working in management and overseeing a part of the Cultivator Defence Base that he was in, but he had somehow unintentionally caused a battle between two of the cultivators on the Top Cultivator Ranking.

Such a battle would be anticipated by cultivators worldwide and would take place on a grand stage, and yet Adam who was unwilling to allow Major Carlson's offence to slide, along with the old man who was protecting the reputation of his organisation, were about to fight.

"Seeing as you are adamant about killing him and acting very arrogantly, I have no choice but to put you down. Your arrogance and pride will be your downfall. Allowing pride to cloud your judgement will get you killed and you are no match for me,"

"It is a shame for a young talent such as yourself who has accomplished so much in a short amount of time. However, you are overestimating your power and that of your puny faction."

"Your faction has done well to take over and monitor New York, however, this country has 49 other states where our power is concentrated. There are also more serious and international things that we have to handle,"

"The US Cultivator Defence is merely letting you grow because it is benefiting us and allowing us to focus on more important things, but do not mistake us giving you freedom, as us being afraid of you,"

"This is getting to your head to your head too much, but I will still give you the opportunity to submit to me and become my disciple,"

Hearing that Adam began to laugh.

"Are you done yet? I have let you speak your piece, but now it is time for you to shut up old man and show me what you can do,"

"I was hoping you could make a rational decision and take the opportunity to submit to me, but I guess you won't learn until I show you the power of the US Cultivator Defence,"

As he said that, he suddenly unleashed a rapid kick to Adam's head and despite being much shorter than Adam, his kick was aimed precisely for Adam's temple.

Adam was barely able to move his head back in time to evade the swift kick and it was during his sparring with his friends that he was able to improve his reflexes.

"I am only a small part of the US Cultivator Defence, but I am still more than enough to teach an arrogant kid a lesson, and I will beat you until you beg me to spare you,"

"Try not to injure yourself while doing so old man. And I am making it clear, my intention is not to beat you, but to kill you. I warned you not to get in my old man, but if you want to die so badly, then I will gladly help you,"

The Silent Ghost was staying calm and recognised Adam's power, but didn't see him as a worthy opponent, while he was also still not planning on killing Adam.

The reason he was near New York in the first place had something to do with Adam, but that meant nothing to Adam who was not going to rest until Major Carlson was killed.

[If you want to get in my way, then I will take down someone on the ranking and increase my influence and reputation, while engaging in a fun and tough battle] thought Adam to himself.

He was by no means underestimating his opponent, but was merely confident in himself and knew that he would need to be very focused while facing an opponent that was as fast, experienced and dangerous as the Silent Ghost.

There was no need for them to talk any longer and their intentions were made clear as the Silent Ghost suddenly dashed towards Adam, but disappeared before his eyes.

Adam was shocked, and he seemed to be using some Movement Skill that would allow him to produce illusions and make it seem that he disappeared.

However, he was sure of one thing after seeing that.

The Silent Ghost was the fastest cultivator that Adam had ever seen or faced before.

Sensing him appear behind him once again, Adam couldn't react fast enough and was punched in the back and launched flying away.

Before Adam even landed onto the ground, the Silent Ghost appeared above him in mid-air and was planning to strike him downwards and finish their altercation in a single combo.

However, he underestimated Adam, who suddenly used the Burst Movement Skill to dodge the downwards strike while mid-air.

"You are quite capable, old man. This will be fun" said Adam as he wiped some blood that was leaking from his mouth.

That strike to the back was powerful enough to snap the spine of any Advanced Cultivator.

Adam was only able to take it head-on with minimal damage because he reinforced that area of his body both Internally and Externally just before the strike was about to hit him.

While providing advice and training to his friends, he was also working on himself and Adam had been looking for a challenge to test out what he was capable of.

"The same can be said for you, however, you are too slow for me. I am the Silent Ghost and if I pleased, you would already be dead by now,"

Being slow was something that Adam had never felt and he was feeling the same thing his opponents would usually feel.

Facing a fast opponent is overwhelming, but they were far from invincible and Adam was also confident in his own speed.
